We hit the magazine racks with an article in Writing Magazine. This is a nice looking article that has already attracted many ideas for new projects:

A few reviews have come to our attention recently: “The darkness in these stories is subtle, a hulking, half-seen shape moving about in the shadows just to the left or right of the very edge of our perception. This is what makes them so good and memorable. Some of the tales will be in my head for a long time” (Leinster Gardens by Jan Edwards); and “The tales in this collection are creepy, atmospheric, unsettling and disturbing, the kind of tales to keep you awake at night, huddled under the covers and clutching a brightly lit torch for dear life while something slivers in the shadows” (Dead Water by David A Sutton). “A good storyteller is able to be convincing while being a master of misdirection. The reader is sucked in to the power of the tale before realising that everything is not how they expected it to be. In some cases this leads to a ‘groan effect’ as a twist is revealed that, although unexpected, is provided without the clues that on looking back were present. A subtle bard leaves the reader with a feeling of satisfaction. John Grant belongs to the latter school.” Tell No Lies by John Grant). If you come across any reviews of Alchemy Press books do let us know.
